I bet those eagles will do a spirited departure when they leave!.
Standard straight out departure as far as i could see.
Shame, a lightly fuelled F15 delights in providing the spirited departure on route to tanker in AARA8.
I recall the Indian Sukhoi being refused performance climb at the end of their visit.

They both kept low until they got to the end of the runway then went vertical. :thumb:

Not sure it's inconsiderate parking in the viewing area where you are allowed to be. The viewing area is fairly busy this morning but not full yet and the overflow is open which can accommodate a fair amount of vehicles. As long as people stick to the bit we are allowed to park I don't see the problem with it. I don't get peoples problem with people turning up to watch a families day from the outside, this never used to cause any issue. It's just health and safety gone mad, just enjoy what you can while you can as the aircraft numbers we have are dwindling pretty quick so there's not going to be displays to watch in the not too distant future the way things are going.
Have a good day everyone but just use common sense 👍
Thank you for speaking your mind and how right you are. :thumb:
